Bungee Jumper Who Plummeted to Death Left Eerie Final Social Post
Brazil Bungee Jumper Eerie Final Post Before Tragic Death
The young woman who plummeted to her death during a bungee-jumping excursion in Brazil posted on social media before the fatal jump ... and her comment is pretty creepy.
According to screenshots from the now-shuttered IG account ... Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas posted, "Who was the crazy person who let me jump off a bridge???" The IG Story included a picture of the bridge in Limeira, a city in São Paulo state.
As TMZ reported ... video circulating online appears to show staff members escorting Freitas to the edge of the structure -- known locally as Skeleton Bridge -- before she was sent over the side. Moments later, people at the scene reportedly realized something was terribly wrong ... as the 20-year-old plummeted roughly 131 feet without the bungee cord being attached.

One witness recording the jump could be heard pointing out a rope that remained on the bridge rather than being attached to the participant, according to local reports.
The incident has since sparked a criminal investigation. Brazilian media say six people were arrested in connection with the fatal accident, with several facing allegations tied to the organization and operation of the jump.
